ROI heat pump running costs:

  • Heat pump approx cost per season $4500 full season
  • 2.5 years payback for a typical Pool Solar install vs running a heat pump 
  • 4 year ROI for: Pool solar system install, 4.5mm heat guard thermal & Premium roller 
  • 7 year ROI for: Pool solar system install, 4.5mm heat guard thermal, Premium roller and an 18kw Heat pump allowing for heat pump running costs

32sqm Output of the system will be in the area of:
  • 40 SCOP in season it will reach upwards of 130 SCOP
  • Output will be in the area of 35kw - 40kw returning water to the pump in the area of 35-40 degrees in season 
  • 1-2.5 degree lift per hour of total volume of water. Super fast heat
  • Mid season 128 KWH

🔥 Why Choose Pool Solar Heating?

Unmatched Performance
When it comes to heating your pool, solar offers exceptional, consistent performance – even without a cover.

Sustainability
Solar heating is eco-friendly, harnessing free energy from the sun and reducing your carbon footprint.

Cost-Effective
While heat pumps require electricity to run, solar is a one-time investment with minimal ongoing costs. Estimate cost per season $450-550 per season, cost to run.

Low Maintenance
Once installed, solar systems are incredibly reliable with little to no maintenance needed.
